Cranbourne Race 5 - Aldebaran Park Trotters Handicap
SHES SKY HIGH (6) ran seventh last start at Maryborough over 2690m, beaten 165 metres. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat. SCAR (3) finished seventh last start over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 12 metres, after a good second at Geelong the run prior. His last run should be overlooked. Good enough to take out a race like this. DISTANT SUN (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2690m at Maryborough. EL CONQUEROR NZ (8) can place following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2240m at Melton.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 9th (Sr5) over 1710m after racing wide at Ballarat beaten 40 m by Nuclear Attitude (2:07.80) on May 14 at $5.50. Before that 7th (Sr4) over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 6 m by Massif Central (2:09.20) on May 7 at $6. Others read better. Needs to lift.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following April 24 run. Just managed to hang on and win came from midfield and won by a head (Fr1) held up early, at this track (1:59.80) beating At The Distance in on May 17 at $7 at the bell was 5th-9.1. This race will be harder than that win. Will find this tough.

Last start 11th (Fr2) over 2240m after showing early speed at Melton, beaten 75 m by Love Ya Brother (2:47.80) on May 9 at $26. At the start before was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 2200m after showing early speed at Ballarat, well beaten by Karbine (2:45.50) on April 30 at $31. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start surrendered the lead and finished 5th (10m Fr1) over 2690m at Maryborough beaten 25 m by Antonov (3:24.20) on May 11 at $10. The run prior 6th (Sr3) over 2240m at Melton beaten 11 m by Mac Flick (2:46.40) on May 2 at $26. Great chance to find winning form.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 7th (FT Fr2) over 2690m at Maryborough well beaten by Antonov (3:24.20) on May 11 at $4.20. The run before was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 2200m at Ballarat beaten 22 m by Karbine (2:45.50) on April 30 at $5. Expecting a much better run this time.

Last start 4th (Sr1) over 2240m at Melton, at the bell was 5th-11.15 beaten 6 m by Stockman Peter (2:46.70) on May 16 at $101. At the start before 8th (20m Fr2) over 2230m at Globe Derby Park beaten 20 m by Georgy Girl (2:49.90) on April 25 at $14. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.
